This week I did some walking, some meditation, attended a virtual Weight Watchers' meeting, tracked, weighed and measured, made sure I had the right food in the house, and kept up with my online support groups. I am grateful that my husband and I are still healthy.

Credit for exercising 1/7 days and for attending a virtual meeting for February.
ETA: I was just reviewing my exercise journal and discovered that I exercised an additional day. I'd completely forgotten about it. So credit for 2/7 days of exercising.

Do you still have problems with still feeling fat, or feeling unhappy with your body? How do you work things out with these feelings?

I don't have problems with these feelings. When I got to goal I had a talk with myself and said I had expended a lot of mental energy to lose 80 pounds and there wasn't anything left-over for whining about my less than perfect body. If I was unhappy about the way I looked I could do the physical work to change but no whining.

bbbearsmom, Great strategy. I do have issues about feeling fat. In general I love the way I look and feel. But I still have an excess of abdominal fat based on medical standards - waist:hip ratio, waist:height ratio, overall waist circumference. This concerns me on a medical/health level because those are indications of dangerous abdominal fat deposits that could adversely effect my health. The only way I know of to address that problem is to lose more weight, but that seems to be an impossibility.

My goals for the week include getting in some activity each day, doing my meditation, attending a virtual Weight Watchers meeting, tracking, weighing and measuring, keeping the right foods in the house, and keeping up with my online support groups. My me-time is my computer, puzzle, reading, meditation, and activity time.

How about we share how much we lost, how long it took us, and how long we have kept it off?

I lost 80 pounds over 18 months and have kept it off for over 12 years. I did this being a member of Weight Watchers and have attended meeting since April of 2007. I did my first six months and lost my first 50 pounds as an online member. This is my third time losing weight on WW but this time I knew I had to do this for the rest of my life so I kept up with meetings for the support.

What do you have for lunch?

I usually have yogurt, frozen berries, one half of a piece of bread, one tablespoon of peanut butter, and coffee. This holds me until my afternoon snack.

Weight loss - after first joining WW in 1971, I spent many many years on and off program, quitting WW and rejoining, getting to goal and Lifetime membership and regaining lost weight plus more.
This last stint, it took me 15 months to lose 35 pounds to get to my personal goal weight. I've kept most of it off and have stayed below my WW official goal weight for 10 years.
Lunch - varies very much. It can be breakfast - oatmeal, milk, banana, or low sugar high fiber dry cereal and milk, or it can be vegetables and/or fruit and a protein - often cottage cheese or yogurt, or sometimes it's leftovers from dinner, or sometimes it's toast with peanut butter, or sometimes it's a can of Progresso soup supplemented with extra boneless skinless chicken and added vegetables.
I tend to vary my meals a lot. It probably makes things harder in terms of keeping within my food allowances and planning. I think keeping to the same meals every day would make that easier, but I really like changing things up.

susan092907, My whole life I've had the tendency to eat the same things over and over. Part of this is I don't have any food imagination or curiosity.
